Hey guys, thinking about moving to England in a couple years

Personally I want to move into central london-ish in a decent apartment and restart my career in ICT.
Anything I should know? Should I do it? I just don't think Australia has much of a future for a middle class person. Thoughts?
pls advise
even with your savings it'll be expensive
go for it anyway mate
Dont move to London, do what everyone else does move to the home counties and commute in.
A quarter million property in London would barely get you a nice flat and would get you a "sort of" nice house

Still expensive with 200k? wtf? How much do you recommend?
Really check out house prices/rental before you make the move. They're high as shit and not going to get any cheaper any time soon. Anything else is just standard city living shit really.
I don't know why you'd want to move to London though desu. I mean there's plenty of entertainment and shit to spend money on but you've got to really like the place to get over how awful londoners are.

Because there isn't a lot going on in Australia. Our economy can only grow if China allows it and as it stands we're bottom bitches with our shite buying power. + The UK is literally (literally) in the centre of the world.
Besides I like your casinos and bars. Isn't that a good enough reason?

London is a miserable shithole that is only tolerable if you if you earn +100K per year

230k AUD I presume. That is around 110k GBP, and I am being generous.
A place the size of a broom cupboard is around 1k GBP per calendar month if you are lucky.

It is a good enough reason, just don't underestimate how miserable and expensive London has the possibility to be. Consider other cities too. Bristol is nice.
don't do it lad this country is shit

100k savings is easily enough to put down a deposit on a flat. If you can find a job that pays around 40k a year, i'd go for it.
>250k Aussie dollars
>implying that would get you anything in London
you can sleep in Hyde Park with all the other poor people mate

Your savings will buy you a shithole one room bedsit with cardboard walls splitting it out from other shithole one room bedsits in a run-down crumbling hundred year old slum that hasn't seen an electrician since before WW2.
Go surfing and enjoy a bbq instead.

take it from someone who moved out of a soon-to-become shithole in the northwest, moving from aus to london is a stupid fucking idea after how fucked england got and who knows how fucked it could get in the future.
Why the fuck would you go the Britain. Tons of people emigrate from there for a reason. Shit weather, shit city, shit culture.
I know some black dues that are British immigrants, get they are trying to move to the States lol
